About Martin
Martin Stubbs is a BACP counsellor in the United Kingdom with 15 years of professional experience. He works with people facing relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief and loss, and depression. Martin also supports those dealing with ADHD and eating concerns.
He focuses on practical conversation and steady support. Sessions are conversational and direct. Martin encourages people to name what feels most urgent and to try small, achievable changes between meetings.
Martin pays attention to attachment and family of origin patterns. He helps people who feel stuck by their past relationships, abandonment fears, or ongoing family problems. He also addresses communication breakdowns, blended family issues and the stress of caregiving.
For those with eating or body image concerns, Martin looks at behaviours and the emotions that drive them. He works with people managing autism spectrum differences and with those facing ageing or geriatric concerns, aiming to reduce isolation and improve daily coping.
Sessions tend to be straightforward and paced to the person. Martin will listen, reflect what he hears, and offer practical steps to try between sessions. The focus is on making things a bit more manageable in day-to-day life.
Starting therapy can feel difficult. Martin invites people to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then book an initial session to see how the work might fit their needs.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online work
Martin uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change and clearer relationships. One approach looks at patterns of attachment and past relationships to explain why certain behaviours repeat; this helps when someone struggles with abandonment or family of origin issues. Another approach focuses on behavioural patterns around mood and eating, helping people identify triggers and try small changes to see what makes a difference.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss different methods and decide together which fits the person’s goals and preferences. That conversation is collaborative and may shift as progress is made.
The practical benefits of online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time and make scheduling shorter check-ins possible around study or work. If you need to confirm which session formats are offered, check the booking details before you sign up. Registered or accredited professionals generally use online sessions to help people keep therapy consistent alongside everyday responsibilities.
